+## Database Seeding Instructions
+
+This section explains how to seed the database with sample data for testing purposes. The script will populate the database with predefined medications and users.
+
+
+### **How to Seed the Database**
+
+1. **Install Dependencies**  
+   Ensure all necessary dependencies are installed:
+   ```bash
+   npm install
+   ```
+
+2. **Run the Backend**  
+   Start the backend to verify the database connection:
+   ```bash
+   npm run dev
+   ```
+
+3. **Seed the Database**  
+   In a new terminal window, run the seeding script:
+   ```bash
+   npm run seed
+   ```
+
+4. **Check the Output**  
+   You should see messages in the terminal like:
+   - "MongoDB connected..."
+   - "Existing data cleared!"
+   - "Users seeded!"
+   - "Medications seeded!"
+   - "Database seeding completed and connection closed!"
+
+5. **Verify the Data**  
+   - Test the `GET` endpoints in Postman to confirm the seeded data is accessible. 
+   - To GET all users, use: /api/v1/test/test-get-users
+   - To GET all meds, use: /api/v1/inventory
